Not bad, although a bit moot now that there *are* no more
new Cherokees (one of D-C's more brainless decisions).

im not really sure, as i have no experience with the rodeo. i think the
xterra is about the best IFS compact suv on the market, or at least of the
ones ive driven. i hope the grand cherokee will do as good when its
equipped with IFS in '05.

Re: xj vs. xterra

Wonder how the Isuzu Rodeo would size up with the X-Terra? The 4 Runner
doesn't come with 5 speed manual anymore, but the Rodeo does (not sure about
X-Terra?). The low range in Rodeo is about the same as the X-Terra too, but
not quite as low geared I think 2.25:1?.

I dunno man... the xterra is simply the Nissan Frontier with an SUV
body and clever marketing. I'd take the Liberty over the xterra, but I
already know your feelings on the Liberty hehehe. As many drawbacks as
the Liberty may have compared to other Jeeps, I think the Liberty
would easily take the xterra (or any of the other compact SUV's) in an
offroad comparison. Course that being said, I'd rather have the
Cherokee back in production. Haven't been following the thread, so
apologies if we weren't talking about offroad comparisons etc.

Re: xj vs. xterra

As the owner of a Frontier, I'd say I'd rather have the Xterra offroad
than a Liberty. Having had experience with the Honda Passport (Rodeo)
I'd say forget it. I'd take a last generation 4Runner over all of them
and an XJ over the lot if the offroading got serious.
